The group is widely recognized as an important sociological unit of analysis in the study of organizational behavior. Studying groups is especially valuable when the dynamics are analyzed. Group dynamics is concerned with the interactions and forces among group members in a social situation. When the concept is applied to the study of organizational behavior, the focus is on the dynamics of members of formal or informal work groups and, now, teams in the organization. Group dynamics is concerned with the interactions and forces among group members in a social situation. These stages of group formation are: Forming\r\nStorming ,Norming, Adjourning and Performing. Group are successful because of variables such as the ability of the group�s members, the size of the group, the level of conflict, and the internal pressures on members to conform to the group�s norms. Employees in an organization may form a group for economic, security, or social reasons.\r\nGroups are a subset of a larger organization system, we can extract part of the explanation of the group�s behavior from an explanation of the organization to which it belongs.\r\ngroup behavior considers the processes that go on within a work group, the communication patterns used by members for information exchanges, group decision processes, leader behavior, power dynamics, conflict interactions.\r\nTasks can be generalized as either simple or complex. Complex tasks are ones that tend to be novel or non routine. Simple ones are routine and standardized. Individual and group decisions each have their own set of strengths. \r\nBesides the work coming out of social psychology, more specific focus on the impact that groups have on employee behavior, especially the contribution to satisfaction and performance, has also received attention.\r\nA work group is a group that interacts primarily to share information and to make decisions to help each member perform within his or her area of responsibility. The Three most common forms of teams you�re likely to find in an organization are problems-solving teams, self-managed teams, and cross-functional teams. teams do go beyond traditional formal work groups by having a collective, synergistic (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts) effect. Besides going through the steps of training teams to become effective self managing entities, team experts agree that they must also be monitored and evaluated on a continuous basis.
